Arithmetic Circuits for Analog Digits

چکیده
The Overlap Resolution Number System (ORNS) employs bit level residue arithmetic, and opens up a powerful approach to digital computing with analog processing elements. This new redundant representation of signals, with Continuous Valued Digits, opens up new methods for binary arithmetic and digital signal processing. The number system is based on analog residues as opposed to binary or multiple-valued digit levels. Importantly, arithmetic in ORNS is tolerant to VLSI circuit tolerances. This allows simple elementary analog circuits to be employed, targeted at digital accuracy.
